Criterion Blu-ray titles! (1 Viewer)

But no #1,000 announcement?

Their email said they will announce #1000 NEXT WEEK!

Must be something big for the announcement to be delayed so long.

HAHAHAHA NOPE.

Also I claim my prize for being the only one here who got this right.

Liked When We Were Kings when I viewed my dvd years ago so will watch it again when Criterion releases it.

Unless it gets announced later today, I have a feeling they’re saying spine 1000 for the November announcements, something I suspected even before the delays began.

EDIT: Never mind, just saw the blurb about #1000 being announced next week.

I don’t understand the fixation on when they make the announcements

I didn’t not understand the fixation on when they make the announcements

Huh? What? Did anyone here actually believe that I wasn't anxious, as well?

I think that's a double negative.

 

[TonyD]

Yeah my autocorrect always does that to me.

 

[Detour (1945)]

Man, do I hate autocorrect.

 

[PMF]

I think that's a double negative.

So, in other words, an OCN is the original and a double negative is known as a dupe?

Did you mean: autocratic?


Now, Criterion, about that Spine #1,000.

Subliminal suggestion: "Ryan's Daughter".

No, but my phone would probably think so!

I'm just happy about spine 999. I've been waiting on Matewan for years. I was hoping it would be Criterion that released it.

 

[Angelo Colombus]

I wonder what spine #1000 will be?

 

[Bob Cashill]

Maybe the Toho set, which will be apparently be announced at Comic-Con.

 

[Patrick McCart]

Looking forward to all four. Haven't seen Kings or Matewan, but both look like must-see films. Definitely upgrading Von Sternberg and Haxan.




(also, everyone knows #1000 is going to be Mortedecai)

I'm hoping it is the Toho Godzilla set for spine #1,000. And here's my thinking as to why it will be #1,000.

Spine #999 will be released on October 29th, 2019. If Criterion follows a schedule, then spine # 1,000 should come out November 5th, 2019. The 65th anniversary of the Original Godzilla is November 3rd. 2 days before. What a way to celebrate the 65th anniversary of Godzilla than a mega box set release of most of the pre-1975 Godzilla films. King Kong vs Godzilla is the only absent film from the set due to rights issues with Toho and Universal. Just my 2 cents. Hope it happens. If not, I'll keep waiting.

 

[JoshuaB.]

A Haxan reissue and Matewan are great announcements! As I wrote on Twitter, I hope spine #1000 is Ken Russell's The Devils--now THAT would be worthy of the milestone!

 

[Angelo Colombus]

I was going to suggest Abel Gance's Napoleon but the rights are held by Universal & Zoetrope?

 

[AnthonyClarke]

I wonder if any of the upcoming titles will be mentioned in the upcoming Criterion interview session? Speaking of which, will news of this (and site location) be mentioned in this forum? I'm not really good at navigating through this site.
